- Caption / Description:
-
A traditional Korean funeral bier, known as Sang-yeo (상여) in Korean, on display in the National Folk Museum of Korea (국립민속박물관), Gyeongbokgung Palace (경복궁), Seoul (서울).
The sang-yeo was used in funeral ceremonies for carrying a corpse to the burial site. The design of the sang-yeo is similar to a palanquin, with long poles on both sides, which would be be shouldered by between 12 – 24 pallbearers. Most villages would have a sang-yeo for common use that could be disassembled, and would be stored in a building near the village.
